He does have diarrhea but that is normal if he eats food that isnt his puppy food. What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 2 days old | 73 lbs

Oh no, that was naughty of Zeus to eat that chicken from the trash! The concern I have is if he ate bones or not. Cooked bones should never be given to dogs because they can easily splinter in the GI tract leading to perforation and obstruction. At this point in time, all you can do is monitor him. If the diarrhea continues over the next 24-48 hours, I would have him seen by a vet. Rush him into a vet immediately if you see blood in the diarrhea, he starts vomiting, he has blood in his vomit, he stops eating or drinking, or becomes very lethargic. Hopefully, however, he will be ok!
